I also looked for nice routes and paths for our planned bike tour along the North Sea coast to Cuxhaven and then on to Stade. Afterwards we will go through the Altes Land with an overnight stay in Wedel, and then via Bremervörde back to Bremen or Delmenhorst. In this video I was on the section Dollern - located on the western edge of the Altes Land - Osterholz-Scharmbeck. There were many forest passages on my route. The paths were very easy to ride on, even though there was no asphalt surface. Asphalt has no place in the deepest forest, at least in my opinion. The connecting routes between the small towns did lead along such small roads. To my delight, there were hardly any cars on these roads. The most lasting impression on my tour was made by the "Oste-Hamme Canal", which often accompanied me. An artificial waterway that was built to drain the moor and transport peat. From Bremervörde at the latest, the moorland areas begin, which form the cyclist's environment up to the gates of Bremen. At the "Kreuzkuhle", a few kilometers after Gnarrenburg, there is an opportunity to look back at the time when the moor was settled and peat was mined. I also don't want to leave out the subsequent, boring and noisy route to Worpswede. It looked quite good on the map, but it turned out to be a roaring car route whose end one longed for. A route that I will not take a second time, especially not with the group. From Worpswede there was compensation. A beautiful, quiet path, far away from cars, led me through the Hamme lowlands and to the train station in Osterholz-Scharmbeck.
